What does Luke 1:80 mean?

Zechariah and Elizabeth (Luke 1:5–7) were surprised to learn they would finally have a child (Luke 1:11–17). Their son will come to be known as John the Baptist (Luke 3:2–3). His purpose is to prepare people for the ministry of Jesus Christ (Luke 1:76; Isaiah 40:3; Malachi 3:1; 4:6). Jesus' arrival has recently been predicted (Luke 1:31–33), and the following chapter is a well-known account of His birth (Luke 2).

In the meantime, John will grow up with a noticeable strength of spirit. His miraculous birth (Luke 1:22, 58, 65) and unusual personality (Mark 1:4–6) will contribute to interest in his message (Matthew 3:4–6). That message will be focused on directing people toward the Messiah, Jesus (John 1:19–23; 3:27–30).
